Mothers are dedicated to giving their children the best opportunity for a good life. How much harder is it for a mother to do so all on her own?

Single mothers are incredibly determined and resilient. They find a way, despite often overwhelming physical, emotional and financial challenges.

However, without some vital support at their times of greatest need, they can find themselves unable to provide basic needs for their children, including enough food, basic school supplies and even a safe home.

Council of Single Mothers and their Children provides essential support and assistance when these families need it the most.

Together, we can show single mothers that they are not alone.

Join the Council of Single Mothers and their Children to mobilise for change for all single mother families!

Join a movement of single mothers keen to participate in a variety of ways, from receiving training to act as a delegate to taking a small action to communicate our strength in numbers via key campaigns.
